In a disturbing incident, a government school in Sultanpur district finds itself embroiled in controversy following accusations of molestation against an assistant teacher. Identified as Girjesh Singh, the teacher is alleged to have inappropriately touched a Class seven student behind a washroom, threatening her with casteist slurs afterwards.

The shocking claims were brought to light by the student's father and were confirmed by testimonies from other students.
